not at all since to use Physical Full Burst means you lose 99% of your points so that means you still have 1% and we know a level 9 burst linker will have tons of points

That wasn't what I was talking about:

Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide

I will have to review episode 4 to be certain, but I did view the entire series within the past week. As I recall, she identified the driver as someone she had eliminated from the Accelerated World, and identified that person as targeting her in the real world. If my recollection of that is correct, that information would contradict the final episode, where we were told and shown that losing Brain Burst eliminates all memories.

Actually, as I recall, the driver was the guy responsible for bullying Haru. It was his attempt at revenge for being expelled from school.

Edit: I went back to check the episode. As you say, it is the 4th episode. On Hulu, the "accident" is after the second commercial break @ 10:22. It is Araya.

Okay, that maintains consistency. Thanks for checking.

No problem. I had thought something similar at first. There's so much information in this show, it isn't surprising that some details would be confused. It makes me want to watch the show again and see what I've missed/forgotten.

Speaking of Hulu, anyone know if this series is going to be streamed somewhere else, like here on Crunchyroll someday? I'm stuck in Canada where Hulu does not work... grrr.

Short of likely being able to see it dubbed on Viz's new Neon Alley service (which apparently will be available to Canadians), I don't know of any other legal venues.

The only simulcasts of Viz that CR has also had are the TV Tokyo shonen series (i.e., Bleach, Naruto), so there is no precedent for them streaming anything else Viz has licensed. It would be nice if Viz would work out something with CR for Canadian viewers, but I've not even heard any rumors that they have ever considered such a move.

Or do I need to drop some serious yen to get it from amazon.co.jp???

I'm a strong believer in "try before you buy", especially when anime is significantly more expensive than books. The annoying thing, as you've previously pointed out, is that Viz has licensed Accel World for the US & Canada. It's only the distribution mechanism, Hulu, that is the issue. In this case, I don't have an ethical problem with finding an alternate means for viewing. Of course, the choice is yours. I'm sure you'll like this series, so Viz will get your money... eventually.

Was hoping for subs and raw, not dubs but I may have no choice other than expensive disc's from Japan. Thanks.

It was on in some places where I could see it along with Rinne no Lagrange but they were taken down... Will have to look again.

I love this series =) Saddened to see it end so soon. Hopefully it did well enough to earn it a continuation in the future - It certainly deserves it
Not that It'll ever happen, probably, but if the show sees a UK blueray - Or even DVD release, I'll support it fully in cash~ ^^''

Well; until then, guess I'd best carry on learning japanese, and trying to read the LN. Eh, its motivational support to keep studying I guess. Kuroyukihimeh is lovely too~ >w<

I know what you mean.

On the bright side, they've only covered the first 3 books. There are 12 published so far. So, there's plenty for future seasons, if we are lucky!

I've recently been re-watching Accel World with a friend who is watching it for the first time. I'm in love with it even more! I just wish they would do another season or somehow end it nicely and finish the goals they started with. My friend has enjoyed it so far too. Great show to watch as a marathon

Well that was a nice little bump
I didn't see it when it first aired either and only somewhat recently watched it. I enjoyed it quite a bit. I liked that the MC was a fat little guy who really struggled, though I think that was overdone. He did improve in confidence over the course of the show, but he still stayed so very whiny with a loser mindset (even though he was clearly getting stronger). Overall though, very good, and I'm glad I watched it.
